Entrez Gene Summary for FXYD2 Gene

This gene encodes a member of the FXYD family of transmembrane proteins. This particular protein encodes the sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit gamma. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Renal Hypomagnesemia-2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. Read-through transcripts have been observed between this locus and the upstream FXYD domain-containing ion transport regulator 6 (FXYD6, GeneID 53826) locus.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Hypomagnesemia 2 (HOMG2) [MIM:154020]: A disorder due to primary renal wasting of magnesium. Plasma levels of other electrolytes are normal. The only abnormality found, in addition to low magnesium levels, is lowered renal excretion of calcium resulting in hypocalciuria. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:11062458}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
